At that day, the circulation over the aforementioned island entered the Tyrrhenian Sea near southern Italy, in which it attained a pressure of 1,010 mbar (1,010 hPa).

[1] The storm over the Black Sea eventually moved northwards by 13 October, with the strengthening circulation over Italy merging over the system’s front.

[3][4] It further coalesced into a single system near Greece on 14 October, with the storm connected to a strong high pressure area, in which the Free University of Berlin (FUB) named “Oldenburgia” before it moved northeastwards across the country on the next day and emerging into the Aegean Sea.

The country's Ministry of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection convened a conference to examine the storm, as well as issuing warnings to its citizens about Ballos.

[22] Residents in Arkalochori, who had previously been hit by an earthquake, were flooded by Ballos' rains, which soaked everything from their tents to their food supplies.

[23] Two deaths were reported throughout the country as a result of the storm: one in Pikermi, where a person was swept away by a strong torrent of floods while crossing a bridge, and another in Tsakaioi, Karystos, where a senior citizen met the same fate; at this time, into a river.

[28] In Thessaloniki, a sinkhole swallowed a bus carrying 15 passengers, while another was nearly buried by floodwaters; neither incident resulted in any deaths or injuries.

[22][29] Over 30 tons of rain were also reported in the Kifissos basin, which a Natural Disaster Management official blamed on Greece's climate change.

This is almost equivalent to Athens' monthly rainfall, but significantly less than the 700 millimetres (28 in) of rain recorded in Zagora and Pelion during Storm Athina.
